As someone who's actually from Chicago, I can shed some light on why guns are still a problem despite comparatively strict gun laws. To start with, here's a map of the general area that might give you a hint on what the problem is:
It's easy as shit to just drive for an hour or two and find yourself in a state that has more lax gun laws. So, if you really want a gun that badly (or if you're an illegal gun dealer), a Chicagoan can just drive up to the state line, get a gun with less red tape, and go back with nobody being any the wiser. I myself have crossed the border between Wisconsin and Illinois dozens of times, if not over a hundred times, in my life (we have family in Kaukauna and an annual vacation in Door County). How many times have we been stopped by cops who want to know what we have in our car?
